The glory of web 2.0 is that it fails and breaks just as much and as often as that old crappy web 1.0.  The big difference is that you can see it fail, break and generally suck while you and your friends watch.

Plus, in a throw back to champions of pastels, you can watch it suck with mild looking colors and rounded corners.  No service lives quite up to the utter suckiness of web 2.0 like the current king of web 2.0, twitter.

Where did Twitter Get Its Name?

Twitter is a serviced named by many accounts after a homeless man who died on the a silicon valley curb while a mob of computer geek nerds took cell phone pictures and text messaged their friends to remark on his last death convulsions.  Not a single sucky uber geek lifted a hand to save the bum, not a single geek called 911, but 430 text messages were generated from that situation from a small group of 30 people waiting for a green bus.

Ironically, none of the 430 text messages were sent to anyone outside of the group watching.  While the poor bum twittered and jerked for the last time on this earth, the crowd of texting Poindexters were engaged in a mental sms circle jerk described by the most enterprising nerd as a twitter.

This was the conception of what would later become the most pointless web 2.0 application ever.
